Sam Quail, of Plum Creek, Neb., ar.
rived in this city yesterday at 1880
o'clock in search Of his wife, whom he
claimed, had refused to live with him. As
he was walking up Broadway, directly
after his arrival in this city, he met the
object Of his search just entering res
taurant at No. 302 Broadway. Quail went
to police headquarters and there in
formed Deputy Marshal White that he
wished his wife placed under immediate
arrest; that she was fugitive from jus
ticc; that an officer in Omaha held
warrant for her arrest and she was want
cd for numerous other causes.
The deputy marshal and representa-
tive of the BEE proceeded to tho restau-
rant in company with Quail. On the
expedition it was learned that Quail
wanted to obtain possession of his five
year-old son more than he wanted pos
session of his wife.
After locating the restaurant, Quail
retired into seclusiOn, while the deputy
marshal and the BEE man introduced
themselves to Mrs. Quail, who had been
going under the name Of Francis j. Gil
bert.
When made aware of the fact that her
husband requested her arrest Mrs. Quail
said she had committed no offense and
saw no reason for being placed under
arrest. The deputy marshal informed
her that Quail was about.to swear out a
warrant provided, she would not
acquiesce IN remaining in the custody of
the police until his warrant from the
other side of the river arrived. Also
that he had no authority to place her
under arrest, but If she wished, she could
20 to the station and remain there until
the warrant arrived. She concluded she
would go as she had no fear of any war.
rant he might have had issued.
When she was ushered into the police.
mems parlor she freely gave full &C.
count OF her unhappy union with Quail
eight years ago and the treatment she
had received at his hands since then.
She is blonde of rather small stature
and above the average intellectually.
She acknowledged having left her hus-
band in May last, and claimed he not
alone drank excessively, but gambled
away even her hard earned money. That
the child was IN an institution in Omaha
and she proposed to keep it there. If
Quail got the child he'd have her with it,
but she preferred to be allowed to re-
main away from him. She had gone
under an assumed name because she
didn't want him to follow her up. She
had worked hard since she had left him,
as we'll as she had been compelled to do,
even when they had lived together. She
had worked at the restaurant for two
days and her employer knew the facts
connected with her case thoroughly
showing she had no disposition to de.
ceive him.
Quail offered the BEE man a five dollar
bill and requested it be handed to his
wife, which she refused to accept, al
though che only had so cents in her
pocket and her two days pay coming
from her employer. She said he couldn't
make it appear that he was supporting
her by thus Offering her money. She said
he was we'll able to support her
alone. as although he had no extensive
education, he was naturally smart and a
very fair lawyer.
Quail sent to Omaha for the warrant
| saying he simply wanted to reclaim his
| wife and obtain possession OF his child
| He appeared with q new suit of store
clothes, a new pair of shoes and q silk
hat which caused his wife to smile when
she saw him out of the window as she re-
marked, that he was becoming quite gay
in his new costume, after having been
walking upon his uppers for sometime
past She disliked the newspaper noto
riety which would of necessity be caused
but thought MIR. Quail would rather en-
joy it. She chatted with the chief oi
| ponce ana city marshal ana apparently
J tried to hide her humiliation at being
confined in the station. after which she
busted herself by writing
Many meu of many minds;
Many birds of many kinds.
Many fishes In the sea, and
Many folks who cant's agree.
Besides the above, Quail charges hel
with lewdness and being intimate with
travelling man at Vinton, la. His cnarge
| were received with a grain of allowance
as parties who knew him IN Sac count,
considered him rather worthless man
principally on account of drink.
During the latter hours of the after
noon Sheriff Taylor. of Plum Creek, ar
rived, and Mrs. Quail consented to g
across the river without a requisitiOl
upon the warrant in the sheritf's posses
sion charging her with assault with in
tent to kill. She did not deny havin,
struck her husband upon the forehead
just previous to her leaving him.
